Margaret trained as licensed practical nurse (LPN) for the Army Corp for WW II and worked in home-care settings and several nursing homes. She had managed a small gift shop in her church for several years. Most of her time and effort went to her family and to volunteer work with missionary projects.

She taught her girls how to sew, and never met a craft she did not want to learn. Marge has led Pioneer Girls, a Christian scouting-type program, and was president of the missionary committee at her church at age 90!
